Homemade Fudge

Why I only make fudge at the holidays I will never know. It is so good. My son has been asking for fudge and since it seems like fudge is for special occasions and since we just had a very special occasion –the time was right!

My son ( who doesn’t want to be on my blog) just graduated 8th grade! I am so proud of him!

Line a small pan (about 6″X10″ or 9″ square) with foil. Extend edges of foil over sides of pan and spray with cooking spray. Place sugar, butter and evaporated milk in large heavy saucepan. Bring to full rolling boil on medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil 4 minutes or until candy thermometer reaches 234°F, stirring constantly to prevent scorching. Remove from heat.

Pour immediately into the pan and spread evenly. Let stand at room temperature 4 hours or until completely cooled; cut into 1-inch squares. Store in tightly covered container at room temperature or in refrigerator.

This is the 1st year of making fudge , as my mother allways made me a large box every christmas . She allways made extra for my friends. And would send it from florida to sandiego at any cost . This year she had a stroke and lost her husband in a 3 moth period . I write this with tears in my eyes as i think of her this christmas the fudge tastes and smells just like hers. I've made 6 batches for my family and friends and will be sending some to my mom this year i wish i allso had her blood oranges she would hand wrap and send allso from her own trees. This recipee is so easy to make and tastes soooo good ! As a man of 47. Even i can make it Thanks again . Jerry Lyon

Your picture looks delicious! I started making this fudge 20 years ago and I too wish I would make it more often. I make this fudge in the microwave. The recipe was in a recipe booklet I got when I bought my Kenmore microwave years ago.No need for a candy thermometer.Combine sugar, evap milk, and butter in a 4 quart bowl. Microwave on high uncovered for 10 minutes and stir. Microwave another 10 minutes on high. Take out of microwave and stir in choc chips, marshmallow creme vanilla, and nuts. Pour into buttered pan. Cool in refrigerator.

YUM! YUM! YUM! I know why I don't make it during the year, because I would eat too much...guess I could give some away like I do at the holidays huh? Eating fudge feels like a celebration! Nice to read about/see your brilliant son. =) Thanks -

My MIL uses this recipe...it is "her" fudge...we have changed it up a bit too by using white choc chips and adding pistachios, and cherries...or peanut butter chips instead...we even tried to swirls the mint and chocolate...not an easy task! But YUMMO!
